Abstract: There are presented results of a 3-year fi eld experiment aimed at determination of winter rape yielding in the rows adjacent to traffic paths in comparison with the rows of compact plant field. The edge effect of 61.5% was found, resulted from considerably higher number of siliques on plants next to paths. A decrease in yield from unsown path area was considerably compensated due to the edge effect.
